In my opinion if the internet goes down BTC goes down. As far as i know bitcoin fully relies on internet so there's that. If you are talking about just down for a few weeks then probably bitcoin would get worthless again after that but might rise.
If without the internet then bitcoin will disappear, this is what we have to worry because bitcoin is very dependent on the internet then if the state banned bitcoin easily is the stop the internet.

If that will happen, it's a sad story. It's the end of bitcoin
 Bitcoin will breakdown. All transactions, trading and even mining any crypto is done by the help of the internet. No internet, no bitcoin. No bitcoin, no profit chance. That's it, the end.

Not only the end of bitcoin, it will be a lot worse. The end of technology!

given the cayos happening in the world i wouldn't be surprised of nuclear war and in this case i would expect internet disruption question is what happens to Bitcoin if internet goes down?

home internet and mobile internet goes down

do not mean trade bitcoin to buy/sell i mean using it as a way of payment say you wanted to send money to someone abroad for family far away

Obviously by that time, all the cryptocurrency will go to waste since internet is one of the requirement in order for the algorithm of block chain to work. Losing of internet means the end of bitcoins but we do not worry since it will not happen.

It will be impossible to trade bitcoins or exchange but we should not look down on the changing nature of man, man will definitely provide a new way of trading and exchanging bitcoin. yes internet is a major requirement for trading and exchanging bitcoin , but i believe their is always an alternative

If the internet goes down Bitcoin goes down with it that is just how simple it is, Bitcoin has to rely on the internet.
Internet at this point is a must and many people and companies would not survive without it.

maybe many will switch to other investments like gold or property, if the internet goes down of course it will cause chaos, nobody can access to bitcoin so no transactions, that's in my opinion

Why would internet go down? We don't live in the primitive era. Internet is developing and in few years everyone will have access to it. This is my opinion

If such a thing happens then we can only transact using fiat money, gold dll.tetapi I think the incident is very small to happen because if the internet goes down then all activities that use the internet will be messed up and experiencing collapse globally, considering the internet is used all over the world

I think the internet is here to stay for the foreseeable future. If there was no internet, there would be no bitcoin or emails or twitter, etc. Of course it would have to be a catastrophic world event for the internet to disappear and I think we would have more to worry about than bitcoin

You are right. Internet is now a need in our world and bitcoin is somehow depends on the internet. Without internet there would be no cryptocurrencies. Without it, surely there is no invention about virtual money and cryptocurrency. So, that would be the importance of bitcoin for us, users. Internet will always be used in platforms like this.

BTC would just go down and there is nothing that we are able to do at that point, that is just fact. Internet is to important in today's world so we cannot live without it. Everybody understand that.

If internet goes down any bitcoin transactions will be cancelled. Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency is powered by internet, the only way to operate bitcoin transactions is through the internet. Crypyo world will shut down if there's no internet connection. Well, of course that will never happen because we now live in a digital world where internet connection is everywhere.

I think if the internet has decreased then there will be a new breakthrough from bitcoin developers to make bitcoin has a physical form to be traded offline although maybe the breakthrough will reduce the peculiarity of bitcoin as a digital asset.

If internet goes down , it will be a big clash for investors and workers. Because We can live without internet but when we use bitcoin then there will be a big issue if there is no internet connection and It wil be very pathetic for us.
The Internet shouldn't shut off for no reason, if they do then there's going to be a lot of businesses shutting down too.

One of the limitations of Bitcoin is internet connection. If you do not have internet connections, basically you cannot access it. On your question, if you don not have home internet ot mobile internet, you can use internet cafe to access your bitcoin. Internet now is a necessity to all people. It would be impossible to shut down the internet in the whole world. If war would come, which is difficult to predict, then all people would not access their bitcoin because it has no use anymore.
